Making Promises to God

This is a simple reflection based on the Gospel reading for Sunday September 25th. It is amazing what we will promise God but even more amazing that often we don't come through. It reminds us of another verse from scripture - "let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. Anthing else is from the devil." For more on the weight of promises I would recommend Dr. Scott Hahn's "Swear to God: The Promise and Power of the Sacraments"
